Bill Low of Willow Kayaks uses Gaco AU 7000 on his boats
(http://www.willowkayaks.com).  
It's a nice coating, but very toxic.  http://www.gaco.com,
Gaco has a boat repair page off of the main site but all of the links are
broken.

Corey Freedman of Spirit Line uses some custom goop, it isn't nearly as
toxic as
the Gaco.  You may be able to get some directly from him if you can get
to his shop in
Anacortes WA.  There are some pictures of his boats, coated, at
http://www.skinboats.com/tradition.html     Others have asked Freedman to
ship the goop
with no success...
